Impunity is a privilege usually offered by persons in authority to exempt the people from punishment or to give people from freedom the injurious consequences of an action.
Impunity could be abused by both parties when due process is not involved or when dispensed through sharp practices of threats or seizing the advantage of the weakness of the situation.
Under this condition, impunity is blatant. It is blatant in the sense that it revolves around bad behavior, done openly without care or shame.
To be able to appreciate the privilege of impunity and without abuse.
We may venture into the synonyms or the words that connote the same meaning.
Immunity, for instance, encourages impunity. Blatant impunity results when rights are trampled upon and privileges are abuses without remorse.
The antonyms of impunity corroborate the fact that freedom without affluence is far better than influence and affluence without freedom.
Those in positions of responsibility should not abuse their offices to the detriment of the people.
In the same vein, workers in all spheres should not deplete the resources of their places of work.
There is a need for all to imbibe the correct virtues of transparency, trust, and exemplary lifestyles, which be a veritable blockade for impunity.
